Steel Body

The realm of Flesh and Blood Sentience.

The human body is now capable of performing all sorts of incredible feats.

With a single thought.

Shifting organs, enhancing or halting various functions, altering the growth of bone, flesh, and hair, directing the flow of nutrients and energy, guiding the trajectory of muscular force...

A series of micro-manipulations of the human body that an ordinary person could never achieve are, for Wu Dao at this moment, entirely effortless.

Take, for instance, what the Cocoon-Breaking Realm calls Unified Force.

Ultimately, it is the result of a physical transformation that solidifies the foundation of the body, allowing powerful mental intent to command all internal and external muscles, tendons, and bones, ensuring that force remains "taut" and condensed into a single point, never dissipating.

This level of force application.

At this moment, Wu Dao can surpass his predecessors and achieve even greater heights!

Because what he can mobilize and command is the "kinetic energy" generated by every muscle, organ, and even microscopic tissue within the entire human body.

All Rivers Return to the Abyss!

Once these seemingly insignificant forces are integrated, they become unimaginably terrifying; a single pinky finger could snap metal and iron like a twig!

Beyond this.

He has also attained what martial arts novels describe as Internal Vision.

With these two in tandem.

Wu Dao can even perform "surgery" on himself; if something goes wrong internally, a sweep of his mind allows him to "see" it, controlling his microscopic tissues to repair the damage and eliminate the source of the ailment.

It is quite monstrous!

This is also the reason why, in his past life, when a Heaven Stealer reached the Heroic Domain of Potential Liberation, their lifespan was biologically and scientifically estimated to reach five hundred years!

The initial shattering of genetic inheritance limits.

True freedom from illness and pain!

If one were to undergo another genetic transformation and reach the Overlord Realm of Potential Liberation.

That would grant a lifespan of one thousand years!

And at 100% liberation, one would truly be nearing the level of Immortals and Buddhas.

Based on his own physical constitution, Wu Dao had estimated in his past life that, barring external factors, he could live for five thousand years!

Five thousand years!!

How long was the true history of human civilization in his past life?

It would be no exaggeration to call that a long life.

Of course.

Longevity is not what Wu Dao seeks.

Even if a tortoise lives long, its power remains weak.

Only a longevity that is truly eternal and indestructible, fearing nothing, can be called true longevity!

That is the true end point of biological evolutionary transition!

This is what Wu Dao desires!

"If I encounter any Ghostly Entities from here on out, I won't have to hold back anymore."

Wu Dao's mental intent wandered through his entire body before finally returning to the outside world, where his potent spirit circulated across his skin, forming an invisible one-centimeter Mental Carapace that covered his body.

With this Mental Carapace.

He is now capable of touching those Fierce Ghosts and Anomalies that are intangible, formless, and possess soul-based or spiritual attributes.

Once a battle begins.

A violent, murderous consciousness will saturate the Mental Carapace.

Driven by his immense, brute strength, it will form a hybrid damage type that merges the spiritual and physical planes, resulting in exceptionally cruel lethality.

And on the path of transcendence in this world.

One can only achieve a Mental Armor if they reach Subtle Mastery in martial arts or possess a spirit powerful enough to influence external objects after a Second Rebirth, and even then, its strength is far inferior to Wu Dao's.

Of course.

The Immortal Dao is an exception, as it specializes in the spirit, and each discipline has its own expertise.

After experiencing the transformation of his spirit.

Wu Dao then began to sense the changes in his physical body.

Strong!

Extremely strong!

If the Beast King Realm was the strength of mortal flesh and blood, then the Heroic Domain has turned him into a Steel Tyrannosaurus!

Under Internal Vision.

It could be clearly seen—

The skeletal structure of the body, which served as the load-bearing beam for human strength, had progressed even further beyond its previous iron-stone texture.

The cellular structure had changed, becoming even more compact; with a cyan-hued metallic luster, its mass, density, and hardness were now comparable to refined steel, possessing both rigidity and toughness!

Whether it was hacked by blades, struck by axes, or subjected to blunt force impacts, not a single point of damage could be inflicted!

The marrow within.

Was like congealed frost, continuously producing surging, dark-red, black-tinged blood.

This blood was thick, much like magma.

Searing, scorching, and containing immense heat, a single drop landing on paper could incinerate it instantly!

The energy within every drop of blood was also incredibly astonishing!

It could be said that if an ordinary person obtained a mouthful of blood from Wu Dao and boiled it down to consume, they would not feel hunger or thirst for three days without eating or drinking!

The muscle tissue was even more terrifying.

If one were to dissect Wu Dao, they would discover.

Every single muscle throughout his body, down to his heart, organs, and tendons, was composed of thousands upon thousands of black fibers thinner than hair, yet possessing the hardness and toughness of steel wire!

Even the outermost layer of skin.

Was incredibly brutal!

During the Beast King Realm, it had been a layer of topaz-like keratin.

After entering the Heroic Domain.

It had transformed into a nearly one-centimeter-thick, crystal-clear "iron suit."

If an ordinary person were to strike him with a blade.

It would absolutely spark on impact, shatter the edge of the blade, and rupture the attacker's web between thumb and forefinger.

In short.

At this moment, Wu Dao had completely transcended the mortal coil; calling him a Steel Superman would not be an exaggeration in the slightest.

Unrivaled on the battlefield!

One man's valor, a match for ten thousand!

This saying passed down from his previous life.

Vividly and figuratively illustrated the power of a Heaven Stealer in the Heroic Domain, which had completely surpassed biological limits!

Super strength, super endurance, super recovery, Near-Sonic Movement, Steel Body, and a danger intuition that surpassed that of animals after the transformation of his sensory perception!

As the creator of Stealing Heaven's Secret.

Wu Dao knew clearly the terrifying nature of the Heroic Domain; compared to it, the Beast King Realm was not even worth mentioning!

And upon reaching completion, or the limit.

His comprehensive physique and abilities would be super-doubled, allowing for Supersonic Movement without any burden, easily killing the previous stage in seconds.

A monster of this level.

Placed in a world where the extraordinary was absent and technology was backward.

If one were bent on destruction and refused to engage in a head-on confrontation, they could dismantle an entire country just by playing around.

This was also the reason why the Old Humanity of his previous life gritted their teeth in hatred toward Heaven Stealers, even launching global wars.

Because the gap was too vast.

They were creatures on completely different levels.

The weapons that countless people of the old era had sacrificed their lives for and pooled their wisdom to create were, in front of a powerful Heaven Stealer, no different from toys.

How could they not panic?

Wu Dao, the founder of the Heaven Stealers, was a "madman" who disregarded morality, and those who walked this path naturally became madmen too.

What if one day this group of madmen decided to wipe out all of Old Humanity and rule the world?

In times of peace, one must prepare for danger.

No one could calmly coexist in the same space with a creature that could crush them as easily as an ant.

But Wu Dao only wanted to say that they were overthinking it.

Why would a dragon care about ants?

Would wiping out Old Humanity make him stronger?

It was a task without the slightest sense of achievement.

He simply disdained to do it.

However.

At the time, he had been trapped in the 100% Potential Liberation realm.

To find a way out.

He restrained the high-level Heaven Stealers and allowed Old Humanity to grow, all just to have them forge a "key" for him.

Unfortunately...

In the end, the key was finished.

But he hadn't been able to grasp it.

Yet, even though he had already "died" once.

Wu Dao felt not a shred of regret in his heart; to him, the meaning of life was to constantly break through limits and explore the end point of evolutionary transition.

If he were to stop advancing, living a mediocre and muddled existence.

He would rather die!!

"If I had another Flesh Tai Sui right now, I could hammer it to death within a minute in my normal state. If it were trash like Meng Qingshuang, a hundred of them would be nothing but ants!"

Wu Dao clenched his fist, sparks flying as if metal were grinding against metal, gaining a clear understanding of his current strength.

He could easily hammer an extraordinary creature that had undergone one Rebirth Realm to death.

As for those who had undergone it twice.

Cocoon-Breakers at the Hidden Force Stage.

He hadn't fought one yet, so he wasn't sure.

However, he figured there wouldn't be a qualitative difference; when it came to a life-or-death struggle, he had absolute confidence.

Because.

After entering the Heroic Domain.

The God-Ghost Heaven, the first day of the Three-Day Secret Arts of Stealing Heaven's Secret, could now be perfectly adapted.

Provided his life was not in danger.

At this moment, Wu Dao could maintain the God-Ghost Heaven liberation state for at least thirty minutes using only his own vitality.

Two hundred percent release of human bodily functions!

With his current boost in strength, it wasn't just brutal—it was downright savage!
